Abstract:

Background: Handwriting is an important activity which is commonly affected after a stroke. Handwriting research has predominantly involved children. In adults, the focus of handwriting research has been identifying forgery, doctors’ handwriting legibility and the kinematics of writing strokes. There are no known studies which provide information on unimpaired adult handwriting in real situations to guide stroke rehabilitation therapists. Aim: This study aims to describe the handwriting practices of 30 unimpaired adults aged 65 years and over to inform adult handwriting rehabilitation. Me

Abstract:

The purpose of the study was to validate the use of the Geriatric Functional Rating Scale (GFRS) in assessing cognitively impaired individuals 65 years of age and older to determine the need for institutionalization. The population of interest consisted of individuals 65 years of age and older exhibiting cognitive impairment and residing in Delaware County, Indiana. A nonrandomized two-group experimental design was utilized for the study. Eighty subjects were selected from two subpopulations consisting of 40 institutionalized and 40 noninstitutionalized elderly.Two geriatric assessment tools w

Abstract:

This thesis aimed to elucidate the demographic characteristics associated with elevated or reduced rates of pneumococcal conjugate 13 (PCV13) vaccination. A retrospective cohort study was performed using the Truven Health MarketScan® Database. Three cohorts were created corresponding to populations for which the CDC recommends PCV13 vaccination. Cohort 1: children < 36 months of age. Cohort 2: adults 19-64 years of age with high infection risk. Cohort 3: adults > 65 years of age. Odds of having a PCV13 claim were calculated for each cohort. For Cohort 1, 78% out of a total of 353,214 subjects

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the 5 stages of change identified in the transtheoretical model (Prochaska & DiClemente, 1983) accurately describe stages of adopting exercise and strength training behaviors among older adults; and to test if the variables of age, gender, education, current level of physical activity, and health problems are accurate measures of predicting stage. Participants included 277 residents of 6 continuing care retirement communities in a midwestern state.

This study uses a qualitative in-depth research design to explore the attitudes that community living people over 85 years of age (n=lO) hold towards relocating to an aged care facility. Aged care facilities are supported accommodation options for the elderly that were previously known as nursing homes or hostels (Commonwealth Department of Health and Family Services, 1997). This type of accommodation currently houses 31 % of the total population of people over 85 years of age (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2004-2005). Attitudes towards new environments are associated with relocation adjust

Abstract:

A randomised controlled trial to determine the impact of the Alexander Technique on physical functioning in older adults with visual impairments is described. Successful fall prevention strategies in the general community designed to improve physical functioning have not reduced falls in this demographic to date, making this an important public health issue as the population ages. Older adults with visual impairments are vulnerable, and there is a need to identify acceptable and effective interventions for home-based delivery. The Alexander Technique uses verbal and tactile feedback to highlig

Pneumonia is one of the most common reasons patients over the age of 65 years present to the Emergency Department (ED). There is a 23-valent pneumococcal vaccine (23vPPV) available under the National Immunisation Program (NIP) that has demonstrated 71% effectiveness in preventing the morbidity and mortality associated with Invasive Pneumococcal Disease (IPD) for adults aged over 65 years. Despite this, vaccine coverage for pneumococcal disease is only 56% in Australia. Immunisation status screening is a behaviour that includes confirming a patient’s vaccination history by asking if they are up

Abstract:

Population ageing and its impact on government provisions for healthcare has focused attention on the development of appropriate services and policies for older people. Considerable resources are being directed towards health promotion media campaigns which aim to encourage older people to initiate and maintain healthier and more active lifestyles. From a behaviour analytic (or ABA) perspective, improving the health and wellbeing of older people involves arranging supportive environments and applying self-management strategies for long-lasting behaviour change from sedentary to more active li

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) peaks in the winter months, and the pattern is quite similar to epidemic influenza. It has been speculated that influenza might be one reason that cause AMI. Although the exact mechanism is unknown, some researchers hypothesize that infection disturbs atherosclerotic plaques, and in turn crack plaque that causes AMI. This implies that influenza vaccination may prevent the occurrence of
